This Cookie Policy is designed to inform you, our valued visitor, about how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our Website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides additional details about how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, to improve user experience, and to provide reporting information.
Cookies are created by the web server hosting our Website and delivered to your browser. Your browser stores these cookies and sends them back to the server with each subsequent request you make. This allows the server to identify your device and remember certain information about your previous visits.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Pizza Ranch) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the Website, such as advertising, interactive content, and analytics.
2.1 How Cookies Work
When you first visit our Website, a cookie file is downloaded to your device. Every time you visit the Website thereafter, your browser retrieves this file and sends information back to the server or to the relevant third party. Cookies do not typically contain personally identifiable information, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.
Cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser or end your session. They are used to remember you as you move from page to page within the Website.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie or until you manually delete them. They are activated each time you visit the Website that created that particular cookie.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
Our Website uses four main categories of cookies, as described below:
3.1 Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our Website. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and account access. Without these cookies, the services and features you have asked for cannot be provided. These cookies do not require your consent under applicable laws because they are necessary for the legitimate operation of the Website.
Essential cookies may help with:
- Maintaining the security and integrity of the Website

3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, including which pages they visit most often and whether they receive error messages. The information gathered by these cookies is used in aggregate form to help us improve how our Website works. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies any individual visitor.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to help us understand how users engage with our Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect data such as the number of visitors, where they came from, and what pages they viewed.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They may also be used to provide services you have asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites. They do not gather any information about you that could be used for advertising or remember where you have been on the internet outside of our Website.
Functional cookies may be used to:
- Remember your language or region preferences
- Remember your login details so you do not need to re-enter them each visit
- Customize the layout of the Website based on your preferences
- Remember any customizations you have made to Website settings
3.4 Advertising and Targeting Cookies
These cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by advertising networks with our permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information is shared with other organizations such as advertisers. Quite often, targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by other organizations.
We use Google Ads cookies to track conversions and to serve relevant advertisements to you. These cookies may also be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.
